when she heard a roar of laughter

The dame descended instantly, ran

Clever Trick of Pana ma Hunters

A gentleman who returned recently
from Aspinwall tells the following
curious story of the manner in which
the natives of Panama capture mon
keys.
"Almost all the pet monkeys in
this country" said he, "come from
Gorgona, a small village half way
on the line of the Panama railroad.
The inhabitants are mostly native
negroes, for no white man could live
in the village month unless he drank
whisky and took quinine constantly.
The surrounding country is swampy
and covered with dense mass of lux
uriant vegetation. AT nightfall thick
miasma rises from the ground and
hangs over the forests like cloud
This place is the monkeys para
disc. They travel through the
forests in troops, going wherever
the king monkey leads. When the
natives have been apprised of the
presence of troop they 60 about
warily to capture them. Their plan
is simple one. A hole is cut in the
shell of a cocoanut just large enough
to admit a monkeys Enclosed paw.
The cocoanut is scooped out and a
lump of sugar placed in the hollow.
A string is then attached to this novel
trap and the negroes conceal them
selves until the monkeys pass by.
Curiosity is one of the chief char
acteristics OF these little creatures, and
when they espy the cocoanut lying
upon the ground they come down from
the trees and proceed to inspect it
carefully. The lump of sugar does
not long escape their notice, and one
of them thrusts a paw through the
aperture to grasp it. With the lump
of sugar clasped in his hand he finds
it impossible to withdraw it, nor will
his greedy nature allow him to aban-
don his prize. The negroes have no
difficulty in drawing him nearer and
nearer to their ambush, the whole
troupe scampering madly about him,
chattering and gesticulating as only
monkeys can. When they have ar
rived within easy reach large net is
thrown out and they are made pris-
oners. Twenty or thirty are often
captured at one hall. The natives
sell them to the employees of the
Panama Railroad, who, in turn, dis
pose OF them in the American mar
ket.-[Chicago Tribune.

ebay rum ?"
So spoke a barber in a well-known
shop on Nassau street. The proprie-
tor glanced up quietly and significant
ly, but said nothing. When the GUS
toner had gone the barber was called
to one side and received, as far as
could be gathered from the whispered
tones, a sharp admonition.
81 never allow my employees" said
the proprietor in response to an in
quiry, "to ask my customers whether
they want anything, and l fatter my
self that this is one of the methods by
which l have built up business. A
customer is pretty sure to know what
he wants, and il he comes in for ten
cent shave he does not care to have it
advertised that he don't feel able to
indulge in a fifteen cent operation.
Even if, in order to keep up appear
ances, he says, Yes in reply to Bay
rum?' he grudges the five cents and
will avoid the shop afterwards. Yes,
sir. believe the main secret of my
success is that none of my BARRIERS are
allowed to say BAY rum"
Don't you lose some custom that
way, of people who would take bay
rum if reminded of it?'
II don't think so. If the GUS
toner wants bay rum, he is pretty
sure to have it in mind, and to say SO,
and then if he wants it all the time,
he will say So"
''This custom of offering stuff to
customers has injured more than one
prosperous barber. There was poor
Tom Higginson, for instance, under
the old Park hotel. He would not
employ baldheaded barber, so as to
give his customers the impression
that his men all kept full heads OF
hair by the. use of a preparation which
he had for sale. He lost many GUS
toners through the persistence with
which they were solicited to buy this
or that. For my own part, everybody
that wants hair wash can have it; but
l don't recommend it, and don't offer
it to anybody"

Hearty Food.

Professor Atwater in the July Cen
fury says: 81 we'll remember how the
sensible and thrifty New England
people among whom my boyhood was
spent used to talk about hearty
yictuals' and how prevalent were the
doctrines that a hard working man
wants real hearty food and that
children ought to have hearty food,
but not too hearty
With these eminently orthodox
fenets the science of nutrition in its
newest Developments is in fullest ac-
cord. But there always used to be an
unsatisfactory vagueness about them.
I never could make out exactly what
were hearty foods, and in Just what
their heartiness consisted. 1t has
since occurred t, me that these
words express one of the ideas
which the unerring sense and instinct
OF man have wrought out of his long
experience, but have waited for
science to put into clear and definite
form. The synonym with which our
science defines this idea is energy.
Hearty foods are those in which there
is an abundance OF potential energy.
The lumbermen in the Maine forests
work intensely in the cold and SHOWS
Of winter and in the icy water in the
spring. To endure the severe labor
and cold they must have food to yield
a great deal OF heat and strength.
: Beans and fat pork are staple articles
of diet with them, and are used in
large quantities. The beans supply
protein to make up for the wear and
tear OF muscle, and they, more especi-
ally the pork, are very rich in energy
to be used for warmth and work.

which has Just struck my eye in a

A late cable dispatch from Paris to

Academy of Medicine to-day DIR. laval
presented an optometer recently made
by DIR. George J. Bull of New York.
The design OF the optometer,

is to enable an occulist to tell instan-
taneously what glasses are required by
far-sighted or near-sighted persons.
The inventor has had in regard to it a
peculiarly happy idea, es ecially suit
ed for French practitioners and pa
TENTS. The figures marked upon the
graduated scale at which the subject
has to look through lens or simple
aperture, according to the more or less
deterioriated condition of his eyes
appear when the instrument is held
as one would hold sheet of pa
per, to be series of irregular,
elongated figures, but when viewed
through the aperture with the optomo-
ter held as one would hold telescope,
they resolve themselves into small
dominos. These dominoes are arranged
In such way that the sum of the
dots on the furtherest domino seen
indicates the degree of far or near
sightedness, while the number Of domi
noes distinguished indicates the focus

There is another extraordinary fea-
ture about this instrument. The
focusing power OF the eye diminishes

has been borne in mind and applied
to drawing up a column of figures

her age is revealed beyond dispute.

N On Madison street one day paused

which stood by the curb and commits

ful animal, though sleek OF coat and
shapely in body and limb, was
apparently suffering most excrutiat-

charm and intelligence. | was just

in the carriage holding the reins fum-

of white sugar and asked me to give
it to the horse.
"He is very fond of sugar." she ex-
planned, "and l have quite won his
heart by feeding it to him. | always
carry sugar in my pocket while out
driving, and give him a lump at every
opportunity. never knew a horse to
be so fond of sugar. Will you please

he is of sweets"

is checked 80 unnaturally high? His
neck is drawn out straight, producing
q most ungraceful angle, he holds his
head awkwardly, the bit is hurting
his mouth, and that graceful curva-
ture of neck and carriage OF head
which are in his nature are now en-
tirely lost. Why do you check him so
high ?"

aware that high checking was source

their natural beauty. She was amazed
at the discovery.

ties Of meat. 1 have often queried
why SO much fat beef is used, and
especially why mutton is so often
recommended in preference to beef for
training diet. Both the beef and the
mutton are rich in protein, which
makes muscle. Mutton has the adj
vantage of containing more fat along
with the protein and hence more po-
tential energy. Perhaps this is
another case in which experience has
led to practice, the real grounds for
which have later been explained by
